Steam heat as standard
One-pipe and two-pipe steam is normal here. A cold radiator is usually a vent, a valve or the pitch, not a new boiler.
Plumbing & heating in
Essex County
Essex has some of the oldest and best-built housing we see. Montclair, Glen Ridge, South Orange and the Caldwells are full of homes still on their original heating systems, with Newark, Bloomfield and Belleville carrying dense pre-war stock alongside them. Steam and hot-water heat is less a specialty here than the default, which suits us.

On the ground
What we see in Essex
Original supply lines
Galvanized runs from the 1920s eventually close up from the inside. Where we can, we replace the failing section rather than the whole house.
Houses worth being careful in
Plaster, tile and trim you cannot buy again. Targeted access is what keeps a repair from turning into redecorating.
